If you haven’t jumped on the Blackstone griddle train yet, you might want to consider adding one to your outdoor appliance lineup. You can use it the same way you use your charcoal or gas grill to cook hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken breasts, steak, and so on. Plus, as a (huge) added bonus, you can whip up everything from pancakes to fried rice. Here are some of our favorite Blackstone recipes to try for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Buttermilk Pancakes
I used to stand at my stovetop and flip pancakes on a frying pan one at a time. Thanks to the Blackstone, that responsibility now falls to my husband, who can pour a dozen pancakes onto the griddle at a time. These never miss.

Bourbon Chicken

Grilled Cinnamon Rolls
No need to turn on the oven the next time you grab a roll of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. Just put these bad boys on the black top griddle and you’re good to go. The subtle hints of char alongside rich frosting and bursts of cinnamon are practically perfection.

Breakfast Hash
Grab a rope of smoked sausage, a couple of bags of frozen potatoes O’Brien, some bacon, a dozen eggs, a red onion, and a green onion, and you’ve got everything you need for an easy and delicious Blackstone breakfast.
